    Discontent is one of the major issues of the world today. One of the major causes of discontent is comparison.

    Discontentment is one of the biggest problems that human beings face today. Spouses get discontent with each other and divorces happen. Children get discontent with parents and move away. Congregation members get discontent with their pastors and churches break up or new denominations are born. ...read more

    The nation of Israel was going to reject God as their King, as individuals, we do not want to make the same mistake!

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • The nation of Israel did not have an earthly king for many years, they were under the guidance of God. Men like Samuel were God’s intermediary between God and the people. Samuel was the last of the Judges of Israel (1 Samuel 7:15). • The nation of Israel was to be like no ...read more

    Do We Want To Be Like Other Nations?

    America may change some aspects of government this election but it will not change the fact that the people remain in rebellion to God. We like so many other countries in the world are living out the cycle of sin as it is clearly displayed.

    Message: We have been witness to a national election in America. It was a very volatile and divisive election. What we saw played out in the United States is as old as time. The Bible points us to a time when Israel wanted to be like other nations. We see in their actions ancient facts ...read more

    When You Ask From God Series

    We had to be careful when we ask from God through praying making sure that it is in accordance to His will and He has promised to grant our prayers.

    We are continuing our study in the Book of 1 Samuel. We are now in chapter 8 - we are studying one chapter at a time. Every chapter has a spiritual application for all of us if we only know how to look for them. Today, we are going to talk about asking God in prayer. Do you know that one of the ...read more

    We are called to be different.

    Just Like Everyone Else I Samuel 8:1-22 In a way, we can’t blame Israel for wanting a king. They had gone through hundreds of years of anarchy. The book of Judges which precedes 1 Samuel historically started off on a good note but progressively deteriorates into periods of captivity because of ...read more

    Give Us A King

     | 3,718 views

    This passage shares the account of a church that is looking at what the church down the road is doing. The pastor (Samuel) tries to lead this church (Israel) according to God’s will, but the congregation won’t heed his counsel.

    As we look at this chapter of 1 Samuel today, there unfolds a scene that can be applied to discussing the goal of churches today. What is the vision of some churches? Do churches think in a Christ-centered manner, or do they think in a worldly manner? What I mean is this: Are churches today ...read more

    Our Refuge And Strength Series

    This is a sermon for Epiphany Sunday. I've linked Psalm 46 with the hymn "We Three Kings" as a way of reminding ourselves who this child/King is why He is worthy of any all the gifts we have to give Him.

    Samuel could tell by the look on their faces that the elders weren’t making a social call to inquire about his health … and he was right. One of the elders cleared his throat. “Samuel … you are getting old and, well, no offense but we’re more than a little concerned about the future of our ...read more

    We learned them as children, but did we learn from them? There is truth wrapped up in these tales!

    I. Introduction These are the stories we learned as children and perhaps now you are in turn telling the same tales to your children or grandchildren. These stories were told by our teachers or at our bedtime to help us drift off to sleep. These tales taught us morals. However, unknown to many of ...read more

    No form of government can make up for the peoples’ failure to obey and honor God.

    It’s amazing which lessons we learn from our parents and which ones we don’t, isn’t it? Considering that I quit making my bed every day the minute I moved out, my mother would be amazed to realize how many lessons I do remember. One of my favorites is from a time when I think I was about 7 years ...read more

    Jesus, who is the Second Person of the Trinity and True God, is in His human nature like a shepherd for all of us who believe in Him.

    Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus 2025 Before we look at today’s Scriptures, let’s look back even before king Saul and King David to the time when the Israelites were led by Judges.
